Current Premier League Players Draft

[Nate]

Done and done.

Teh rulez -

Members will be released in groups of five, with 24 hours to choose a player for their side, drawn with a RNG, until everyone has a squad. Members are to nominate five players, in order of preference. If two or more members nominate the same player, I will roll a dice to decide who gets that player. The unsuccessful member will then get the next available player on his list. Players can either have started, been on the bench, or been in the squad this 2009/10 season.

Then, if people are keen, I will create those sides on Fifa 10, and we'll battle it out.

With your first five-player nomination, please list the club that you would like to take control of (ie, Everton, Burnley, etc).

EXAMPLE DEBUT POST (by Nnanden) -

Club chosen - Hull City

1) Lucas Neill
2) Petr Cech
3) Glenn Johnson
4) Michael Owen
5) Tim Cahill

But wait, Sm00teh's list is

1) Lucas Neill
2) Dirk Nannes
3) Ashley Noffke
4) Asoka de Silva
5) Lance Armstrong

What do we do?! I roll a dice, I have numbers 1-3, Sm00tang 4-6. ...it's a 5! Sm00tsing gets Neill! And Nafe gets Cech, awesome.

Here's hoping everyone understands!

EDIT: Am way excited to run these on Fifa, will be most excellent. Thinking we might have an International player round at the end, thoughts?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Will accidentally sneakymod 'nando out of your team and into mine

 

[Nate]

Will accidently not be your friend.

 

[Nate]

So amped for when the squads are done, and we have our own Prem. Played Rooney and Torres alongside each other for funsies last night, good times, though so strange seeing Wayne in a 'pool shirt.

Get excited ladsssss

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Let's hug it out.

Administrator's and their self-serving ways.

 

[Nate]

Haha, I just love how Smiffy and I are in the example post, and then our names came up. Awesome.

Hoping in time, this might become its own thing, with games every weekend. Set your orders, have a trading period, etc. Big plans.

 

[Johnners]

Imo replace the two UK resdents with 2 others who're online now so no-one feels unloved in the first round

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

IMO = His O. ^

 

[Nate]

Have to say, a little bit of a disappointing first round. Hopefully things pick up - let me assure you this will be worth your time. I can understand if people aren't heaps checking it as it's new.

As it stands though -

Nnanden gets Liverpool and his first choice of Fernando Torres.

dontcloseyoureyes gets Manchester City and his first choice of James Beattie.

The next five members up ARE -

Somerset
Matteh
Mr Mxyptlk
Clapo

Members have until 6pm AEDT, Saturday 30th January, to list their club and five nominated players.

Yew!

 

[Johnners]

Will make a list later tonight, buuttt....

What of UC, Marcuss & Duffer? When will they catch up their first round pick? If they were to put their first round picks in now, would their list get preference to mine?

 

[Nate]

All three are still welcome to participate.

If you ever miss out on a draft pick, you must nominate five players plus one player for every person who missed out in the last five-member group. For example, this time, there are eight members who need to choose a player, the five-member group and the three who missed out. The three who missed out will get their preferred player after the current five-member group.

Hey Nnanden if someone pulls out, I'm keen to play.
